How to Grow Oregano in Containers

Oregano seeds can be sown directly in containers or through transplantation. Select pots or grow bags with a width and depth of 22-26 cm and ensure they have proper drainage holes. The seeds germinate well in warm climates, between 18-25°C.

Sowing Method

1. Fill a container with soil mixed with organic fertilizer.
2. Sprinkle 5-10 seeds on the soil and cover lightly with a thin layer.
3. Water gently using a watering can and place the pot in a sunny location.
4. Seeds germinate in 7-10 days, depending on growing conditions.

If grown in seedling trays, transplant when seedlings reach a few inches in height. Maintain moist soil and avoid adding excess fertilizer.

Fertilizer for Oregano Plants

Oregano thrives in nutrient-poor soil, so additional fertilizer is unnecessary. High nitrogen levels may alter the flavor, so avoid over-fertilizing.

Care Tips for Oregano Plants

• Soil: Use well-drained, dry, and light soil. Oregano grows well in nutrient-deficient soil.
• Water: Oregano is drought-tolerant. Water only when the soil is dry, ensuring the leaves remain dry.
• Sunlight: Requires 6+ hours of direct sunlight daily. Indoors, provide 4-6 hours of light.
• Temperature: Ideal growth temperature is 15-30°C. Tolerates both cold and hot climates but dislikes high humidity.
• Pests/Diseases: Protect from aphids and spider mites. Use neem oil to manage powdery mildew and other issues.

Pruning and Harvesting Oregano

• Regular pruning promotes new leaf growth and enhances flavor.
